Paddington Sydney – Full of History

In the year 1789, there was a smallpox outbreak that killed many of the individuals in the area while others moved to other regions to run from diseases and European settlers.

The smallpox outbreak and the migration of the aboriginal people happened after the arrival of the first fleet.

During this time, European settlers had begun amassing land, and Robert Cooper was already building his house.

After the aboriginal people left Paddington, they did not return and left the area to the European settlers.

They converted Paddington into a working-class suburb for the European settlers.

This began the development and growth of Paddington.

After the arrival of the settlers, Paddington proliferated as most of the area’s construction took place in the late 19th century.

Many of the features of Paddington enriched its heritage, and it is a legacy conservation suburb.

The Victorian residential style, the short distance to the city center and the harbor that facilitated trade and growth.

The houses and streets in the suburb are recognized nationally as being of an enormous cultural significance which is why the Paddington suburb heritage is to be upheld and preserved by generations to come.

The unique housing designs and streets attract many tourists to the area.

Paddington is not only close to the city of Sydney, but it also neighbors other suburbs like Darling Hurst to the west.

Centennial Park which is a great attraction for locals and tourists is east of the suburb together with Woollahra.
